I never learned stoicism, I just adopted parts of it eventually after feeling embarrassed for those who overreacted in public. I’ve literally been hired for a job, because the business owner said I was more “even keeled” than the other applicants. I have used it to defeat depression early on and have been able to help a few others defeat depression. The easiest way to teach it, is using the line in this video about controlling how things effect you, vs worrying about trying to control everything that happens to you. Yes, you must attempt to control the world around you, to survive. But when things beyond our control happen, do not let it break you.
With this i feel weaker
Like just why i cant do it
wow, aren't you just so much better then everyone else; I bet you go around beating up bullies who later thank you for straightening them out as well
@@mikerubin22 is this a test lol
I'm watching this depressed not wanting to leave my bedroom
@@mikerubin22 only if they ask . Why? Are you a bully? I’d be happy to bully you and show you what it feels like. Seriously though, it’s not really all that deep. Just don’t let shit overwhelm you. Focus on what you can control. I’m not a fixer, I just happen to have known a few depressed people who this helped.
"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." - Marcus Aurelius
He apparently lies to himself, then lectures us on how to live our lives/how we should look at the world? Mandela was a strait up political 7errorist with a capital T. No one seriously can deny this who o owes the history of SA. Woke lies are still lies. Just because a lie benifiets non White people doesn’t mean it’s true or good. We’re sooo social communists.
"we're just the universe trying to understand itself" Damn, that's honestly beautiful.
yup, that's Carl Sagon's quote. "We are a way for the universe to understand itself"
That makes the universe look mad and stupid

0:25 “how would you feel if your entire work was lost in an instant?”
Zeno invented Hardcore mode 💀
I guess you would have to learn how to get over it.
Things happen
The amount of time you must have put into this video is astounding. Amazing job and a job well done Sir.
This is a copy.
@@thepilgrim1581a copy of what
@@Uhfffyeah this is a compilation of his videos.
@@user-dr9dz8hh1f it is. So what? You don't think this took a lot of effort? Even if he just explained ideas that are already existing, he summarized them, included his own opinions and also talked about his experiences with philosophy and spirituality and how it affected him, ego death for example.
Hear hear!!
Optimistic nihilism always felt like the complete “philosophy” of nihilism. Life is beautiful, life is futile. Enjoy it all
You forgot to say that life always comes with pain. Some of us can't enjoy it, only endure it.
@@mwh0588 All of us can enjoy it, most of us would rather not. So our options are avoidance, or endurance.
I have to agree with you about the complete "philosophy" statement. However, I would like to state that all the negativity nihilism gets I view as "passive nihilism", where one is ambivalent to everything. On the contrast though what I call "active nihilism", is more closely related to Zen Buddhism, The act of letting things go the act of not caring as much especially about what other people think of you, it requires taking some action, where as "passive nihilism" is when you become stagnant and stuck. The art of not caring has a fine line to it, but if you're doing it as a means of growth and coming from statements like "What other people say about me is none of my business.", it is powerful.
@@homelessrobot how can I enjoy liver cancer?
@@mwh0588 associate the pain with some positive effect. How do you think people enjoy exercise and ball torture and spicy food?
Stoicism is todays modern way of saying "It is what it is"
Right!!!!
There are people who will begin to be enlightened and whose lives will gradually change upon watching this video.
I'm grateful for hard work and good intentions of this content creator.
What a privilege to discover such a thoughtful, broad-minded and insightful young philosopher. Thank you for choosing to share your experience with the world of philosophy with others through this channel. You have a relaxed spirit and a gentle heart and so you are qualified to convey the many ways in which practical understanding can nourish and strengthen rational existence. Good work. Keep it up! I look forward to hearing more from you. :)
Life is a roller coaster. When you're down, remember that you'll be back up if you hang on.
My whole life ive always found it hard to understand how people get so angry with things in life and im now realising its becuase im stoic. People have also told me that things unfaze me and i never get angry and ive always thought something was wrong with me but this vid has now put a word to how i view everything
Isn't that a wonderful feeling? To find that the things the 'general public' point out in you as a character flaw, something that they see as something you should change and makes you feel a little bit self aware of being 'different' and not as a quality that sets you apart.
This affirmation of my natural way I see and respond to the world, as a quality of charcter that makes me at peace with myself and accepting of the fact that I am different, in a good way. And it's ok if others don't get it.
DEAR HEAVENS.. I am a female over 70 and THIS IS THE VERY BEST UTUBE VIDEO I HAVE EVER HEARD ON STOICISM..THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO WORTH Wtching..keep it in you phone..you will not regret it. THANK YOU!!
Yea buddy, you're in a flow state when you make these videos. This video has brought tears to my eyes more times than I'd like to count. Thank you, sir.....
I totally cried like a baby listening to this while trying to get ready for work. A good cry though.
Thought provoking videos like this are why I’m here. Your videos make the wheels turn in my brain and I love it. More of us should be thinking deeper than what is simply on the surface.
YAHbsolutely true in-DEED.
Have a YAHsome day. ❤
Remember, your perspective is always everything - and your perspective has got infinite reach.
I actually use your and other similar videos to enter a flow state. Listening to philosophy or history while cleaning, working, or organizing somehow sends me there.
I thought I was alone in that regard....yeah, seems like my mind goes from muddled chaos to finding myself effortlessly moving through my chores without resistance....I don't get it, and it still takes me by surprise every time🤷♀️
We must let go of things and focus on the things will be alright without the things that we lost. Let go of the material stuff and learn to control that ego of ours which happens to take control of us.
I was thinking to myself a few days ago while driving that ....." we were all here even when earth didn't look like this. We were here but in a different form to adapt to that environment at the time and as earth evolved into what we it's now, we changed our form to hiw we look now to adapt" and like hec said in the video, energy/soul does not die, its transferred.
I call it Theory of Autonomous Creation and we created the environment that we live today, the oceans, the mountains, islands, cities, all of the surface of earth and also our best companion ,the moon, that keeps us balanced and steady. We created through collective consciousness. It was our only God (not our creator) moment and why we haven't seen since. We've been at each other's throats since our beautiful shaping of Earth.hink it has a bit of Quantum Mechanicsinvolved. If we ever decided to come together as humans again, we would all understand what God is. Someday we pray. 🙏 🌏☀️🌜⭐️✌️

The way you described Stoicism really resonated with me. I thought maybe I wasn’t emotional enough but now I realize I have a stoic mindset. Whenever I upload a video to TH-cam I expect the worst, to lose a subscriber or not get any views. So when I gain a subscriber or get a couple likes on a video it makes me feel incredible. When you expect the worst, any other outcome feels phenomenal and fills you with gratitude. And to expect the worst and still go through with an action builds character and tolerance to the world
I feel like everyone should see this video. But in the words of Reinhold Messner “Most people forget that from the beginning of we are approaching death, life is absurd, but we can fill it with idea, enthusiasm, we can fill our lives with joy.
35:05
Doing a psychedelic indused ego death is lige playing that dark childrens game where you get your friend to push down on your lungs while your back is against the wall. When you come up, your friend takes the position. The cop out lies within the trust that the *two entities* share between each other, so that you can "get high" off of the near death experience.
- the "buddy" represents the independent variable of you trip objectively being the good or bad variety.
- the asphixiation symbolises how horrifying ego death feels like.
- and I guess, the children represent how we must all approach boundry defying near death experiences with a heavy dose of humility, as children at heart?
I, say with certainty of truth, the physical world is both a play ground and a testing ground for new entries into the eternal realms
Personal experience
The more you except the negative outcome
The more bad will happen
It's 50/50
Better to expect positive results
Our minds control ALL our personal reality
I have experienced ego death through toad medicine (Buffo Alvarius). It has been the most amazing experience... Philosophy has helped me ground myself on this new journey. My beliefs about the world, universe and humanity have completely changed.
May I ask what ego death through toad medicine means?
@@winnygpooh5003 Apparently toads have their own medicine.
I've been subbed for a while now, and I like the direction you're growing in. I enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Hits blunt:
Such a great video. I can't even imagine the amount of effort you put in this, but i believe it was enlightening experience for you as well.
Thank you for sharing this for us and i hope you will keep on doing a great job.
Everything we experience in life is from the perspective of the mind. Our mind has the power to make us happy or to make us suffer. When it's filled with chaotic, negative thoughts, we suffer. We have to understand that it's our mind working in tandem with the present moment that dictates reality.
The quality of one's life depends on the quality of one's thoughts. -Aurelius
Pain is unavoidable suffering is optional
This is so fascinating, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO AND ALL THE WORK YOU’ve DONE,
I’m taking back my thoughts and stop being led to know where..
This video is insightful. We hope to see more videos discussing more philosophical topics.
It reminded me of Eternalized's video, I like both of them. Refreshing to see stoicism getting popular.
+1
Philosophy is food for the soul :)
you would learn that it was just a bunch of idiots trying to out word and manipulate the art of language like I can today actually. I very well am able to debate and pick apart things due to philosophical reasoning
Nana!
100's of books of wisdom is packed in here. Take notes! Incredible research and work. Thank you from Hungary!
As a stoic more than 15 years i can say you perfectly describe what stoicism is. I even cry i little because it's a beautiful video. I am sure you are proud of your self. Thank you so much for your effort you put in this video.
I think im always in a flow when im doing something my mind gets distracted by the task where im in a zone especially when im enjoying it
I am very thankful for this video. It really has helped me rethink life, feel much better and get me out of a limbo like state in life. Thank you and keep up the great work🙏
I really appreciate the hard work you do making these nice videos
Thank you for this thought-provoking exploration of reality. It's fascinating how our perception shapes our understanding of what is real. The concept of subjective reality opens up endless possibilities for philosophical inquiry. It reminds me of the quote, 'Reality is not a fixed construct but a fluid interpretation.' Keep up the great work!
I still cry for my losses yet I try to make the best out of it
Focus on the Good
I hear you 🙏🏿
One thing about philosophy is you can read or listen to one thing one day, the next will have the oposite message.
your channel /videos have helped me tremendously over the past 2-3 years thank you very much i am a better person !!
I truly needed this video today.
Thank you, friend.
I loved this video. Thanks for making great philosophy content.
This video is astounding I have learned so much and built on knowledge I already have, thank you for taking the time to craft such a sick vid
“I’d rather feel pain than nothing at all"
Wow that start caught me off guard. I just started reading "Mastering the stoic way of life" and than I click play and you begin to talk about Zeno and the storm he was in lol
A beautiful piece of work, well done good sir!!
I love storms. Dark clouds and everything. Especially being out in it. THUNDER
Thank you sir for sharing!
I needed to hear that!!!
I'm grateful.
I love this. Thank you for making this. Very well spoken and easy to listen to. I appreciate this video and I am grateful for you.
Man this was truly an incredible presentation and content that has a large amount of insight and wisdom. Well done. It is my goal which I've been working on knowingly to grow and become fully competent in Stoicism by the age of 50 years old but of course continue growing and learning until my last days very end. Even at 47 and lived what seemed 3 lifetimes over the last 7 years which ironically was the first time I truly got to know myself. My awakening at 38 I shall never forget. Part of me wishes to this day I would never have awoken. The other part is hyper aware that I'm super aware and so on. It definitely changes you and you are unable to see life the same way you always had and for me it literally happened overnight. I went to bed my old self and awoke the next morning to a set of silent unsaid unspoken instructions that I answered silently as I sat straight up in my bed but agreed and answered yes to instructions that were never said yet understood. Phenomenal content and it definitely didn't go unnoticed. I think it will take and impact all people different but one thing they will need is to have or be In process of having an awakening and totally and literally seeing thy ego appear to come out and I remember seeing it float away like a balloon but feeling no panic and being at peace. Some really great insight and I'm happy to have watched and listened to your awakening as it's not often I ever hear it spoken and I have tried before to those I know and they look at me as if one of these. I'm crazy. The look at me and their eyes read mass confusion to which I quickly change the subject with and or they will try to understand but I've realized that even if good with words, something's words cannot explain and can only be learned from real life experience.
Thanks for sharing!
TLDR
Tldr
@Christopher Garza just say it instead of looking like you need help with spelling. I'm sure you're bashing my post. Most do who in the end struggle to have good intent so man up and spell it rather than look like you need my help with spelling. What you abbreviate does nor won't change my post or will it change the difference between the truth and the one too scared to spell out his bashing he feels the need. Say it. I do not care. Envy is weak so speak your truth instead of abbreviating it. If it's the truth I'll be the first one to retract and apologize. "AUARM"
@@DiveWatcherUncut i fd your mom
@@DiveWatcherUncut damn dude you’re going hard. Mr defensive over here. TLDR means “too long didn’t read”…
Thank you aperture your videos are very educational and entertaining and I’ve started to study many different philosophy’s mainly stoicism. My girlfriend broke up with me a couple days ago and I’ve watched this video twice since then thank you for helping me and teaching me❤️
Great job thanks for putting in the time with this 🤙
I don't particularly follow any philosophy I just go with the flow of life. I expect good and bad things to happen. I don't believe in disregarding any of my emotions and feelings. If I'm happy then I'm happy if I'm sad then I'm sad. If I want to get jump up and down with excitement then I will and if I want to cry and complain then I will. I accept all of who I am and what I experience. I am loner who can be social but I need to be alone alot because at my core that's me.
Then that's your philosophy
4:07 I never feel like it's a bad experience when that happens usually I'm in awe of the power of nature, and also know that this is a rare moment, I mean usually I still go inside but not before enjoying it a little.
I can relate, it is as if the universe wants you to pause, restart, or become more aware.
This is a VERY GOOD video.
“FEAR DEATH NOT -FOR NOTHING IS LEFT OF EVIL THAT ISN’T ALREADY BEING ENDURED BY US IN THIS LIFETIME ❤ Death is just another Birth to another Time and another Lifetime in Another Dimension” ~Brandie Yuen
The only thing we can thank “god” for
I knew you'd tripped recently as soon as you began discussing consciousness :D Great video. You've got a new subscriber!
This was an excellent body of work! Shout out to everyone involved in creating this video
This is like Exurb1a and Lemmino made a video together. It's so fucking good man, so fucking good. All the time you took, paid off. REALLY FUCKING GOOD
Where have you been?? the way you speak and the approach with words given in this video absolutely wonderful you say this so eloquently that’s understandable. I’ve always felt this way, but I just never was able to say it in this manner. Thank you.
Almost an hour and a half with seriously quality content...thanks man🌌🙏
expertly crafted video. script is perfect. music fits each theme and overall lessons are portrayed to you is a delightful way.
Kudos to the maker of this video for making the background music not noisy and intrusive.
Thank you bro. Your content is much appreciated.
The description of ego death is what I experienced when I almost died from losing 2 liters of blood in less than 20 minutes. I could never articulate beyond that the room was dark. The experience changed my perception of life and myself.
I think this is one of the best videos on TH-cam this year, wow.
I fell asleep listening to this video today, June 2nd. 23. Around 1 pm, after dealing with the courthouse 😅. Best sleep of my life since I found avgn. I find myself listening again. I hope to be half as good as diogenes and half as powerful as Marcus. But what I wish for most is for my yin and yang to meet like the way they did
divorce eh?
@@bryck7853 🤣
This is top 3 videos on TH-cam, I love philosophy and want to share it with those I love, and this is the perfect stepping stone.
I appreciate your work, thank you 🙏
But we still want those short surreal Aperture videos about Life, Cosmos, and Philosophy. Love those❤❤❤❤❤
my living situation has forced me to be 'stoic' ... thankfully I am moving soon
This is a great video to listen to while studying/ working or just chilling
Thanks for making this ❤
love your voice, nice listening to it while trying to calm down from a stressful day, keep going pls
Incredibly well done, thank you 🫶
Thank you for this beautiful and profound episode. ❤
Thank you I really needed this. Understanding to understand priceless
Awesome video. Very well written and presented.
Nietzsche was doing what one should when thinking about something. The pros and cons. The positive and negatives. Which will leave one feeling ambivalent. Torn.
Stop overthinking and over analyzing. Its putting expectations on things. Most of which, are unrealistic. Kegley's Principle of Change… It is easier to behave your way into new way of thinking than to think your way into a new way of behaving.
And dude, this was a very broad video. It went into many awesome aspects of the conscience. Bravo💪👏👌
The death of the ego or transcending the ego is something I feel we are all going through right now. It's scary when the veil is lifting. You start to question your sanity. You start to disassociate from the reality or story you have been telling yourself. Detaching from all these attachments is uncomfortable, at the least.
You start to see attachment is the root of suffering. And desire. The ego attaches to these material things as a way to give the identity some definition. We dont own these things these things own us. Its only when you lose everything that you can do anything.
Forgive me for blowing these comments up but this video had stimulated a brain storm.
Its SO sad to see how some people see their life passing in front of them and not giving a shit. We should all be happy to be alive and so take care of each other
Suffering coming from existence
I love it
i met this video heading towards nihilism and then i ran into stoicism it is in the timing that i find meaning....thank you very much
Incredible video
Definitely worth watching more than once
Really enjoyed listening to this while waiting for my son’s ACL surgery and my dad’s heart stent surgery happening today. Thank you!
Hope everything went well
I learned that By my first heartsbreak i said to myself time heals wounds so i simply have to wait up the time and If i dont think about being sad and telling myself that im ok i really got good over it and this manifested in me
Good and pleasurable video, I miss the idea (for me experience) of reincarnation. I see life as an eternal school. Life is based on thoughts, thoughts are like invisible quantum particles. They exist from the past can come from others made by the body (hormones) and created and controlled by the mind. Life is transformation. Our cells are reused our mind reused - transformation is creation.
Everyone thinks I'm strange just because my way of thinking is different from theirs after studying philosophy...
Watching and listening to your exposition of 5 great ideas of philosophy, bemused me as how or why you either chose not to or are unaware of the Vedantic thought so similar and more deeply explained and that too rains ago .
Excellent thoughts. Beautiful voice ❤
Great video, this hits deep and that how you know this is a great video
I'd say stoicism almost got it right. Instead of doing it for ourselves, do it for the sake of it. Helping others is helping yourself. Just as caring for yourself before you care for others enables you to help others. Just as by feeling good by helping others we can allow ourselves to be helped so that others can feel good. These principles lead past the simple boundaries of contentment and discontentment, and give rise to purpose and intent. To those who chase freedom, or pleasures, or creation, or knowledge, or fairness, we are all after something. Be it a sense of power, a means to feel secure, the desire for love, or anything you can imagine. For one of the best philosophical frameworks for life that I've found, take the ideas of buddhism, stoicism, absurdism, and everything by Alan Watts and Carl Sagan. You'll go down the path of wondering that if anything can have meaning, then nothing really does. You'll learn that the bottom line, the whole reason for everything, is love.
❤🥇🙏✨👌
❤
"Just as by feeling good by helping others we can allow ourselves to be helped so that others can feel good" what a great perspective. I have never thought about it like that. I tend to be of a mindset, "i need to do it all myself" not sure if it is to prove something to myself, or if i am hesitant of asking for help in fear of judgement or upsetting someone. But i love to help people, it feels good. and i never thought of letting others help me and allowing them to feel that same feeling.
If you havent i would read meditations by Marcus Aurelius, He has a very good way of looking at Stoicism
You got it ryt there love!😅😅
It’s crazy, how I have been able to listen to this with much clarity. It’s ultimately interesting.
Nothing is not something. The concept of nothing can never be considered as a concept of something. The concept of nothing is much harder to understand because we can't really imagine it. It's not a paradox at all. It should never be reduced to something so simple.
We are always looking for something. It's funny there is more space in the world , we will always seek for "things" to touch, taste, smell. Human nature.
thank you for the great videos you keep making. My question is how do you keep your voice in the neutral way for over an hour and a half
I've just started preparing for a philosophy and ethics graduate certificate at Harvard Extension School. I'm excited to start learning and writing more about the subject of philosophy and how we define what life is as we interpret it. Thanks for the taking the time and effort to put this video together.
We are undoubtedly here to evolve.
Thank you. I needed this!
even yo mama needed that ask yo mama
REBT was hands down the most helpful of any therapy
Love philosophy it expands your mind knowledge awareness thinking
"Do not be seduced by the immediate pleasures of the digital agora. True virtue and wisdom require effort and introspection." - Plato, probably
You have the most calming voice on youtube. Pleasure to listen to.
It's funny because I discovered stoicism for myself without ever hearing about it when I was 14. Introvert. Got bullied. Etc.
And then I got very selfaware and reflective.
I just imagined that every person I ever met could drug me, rape my relatives, torture me, torture and destroy everything I love.
So at this point every person that doesn't do it, will just do neutral or good things to you.
Now I'm happy at 28 because nothing can faze me anymore.
I conditioned myself to solving problems. But I never experience a problem for myself. Just events to approach or solve
Jesus loves you!✝ “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.”
Your comment kept my mouth open of shock as this video did..because i am a 14 year old girl who knew about the mindset of stoicism before watching this video and going deep in philosophy..it feels so weird to see other people who are experiencing the same pattern that you are doing when it seemed so rare and deeeeep.
